History

Ohta Publishing was created in 1985, when it separated from the publishing department of Ohta Production, a talent agency specializing in stand-up comedians.
Initially, from an outside perspective, Ohta Publishing did not seem like a serious company but rather a sort of toy company of Takeshi Kitano. It released books that were of interest to Kitano himself.
In 1989, Ohta published the famous book The Age of M about serial child murderer Tsutomu Miyazaki and started establishing itself like a source of provocative "subculture" items. Around the same time, the bi-monthly magazine QuickJapan was founded. In 1993 Ohta released the book The Complete Manual of Suicide and in 1999 Battle Royale, which shook Japanese society.
At the end of the 1990s, the company also started working with manga artist Naoki Yamamoto, dubbed the master of erotics, and founded the manga magazine Manga Erotics. Its successor Manga Erotics F now accounts for a large percentage of all company's manga sales.

Prominent titles

The company is best known for having published books like The Age of M, The Complete Manual of Suicide and Battle Royale, other books including The Tatami Galaxy and Eien no Zero, and numerous manga comics. It also publishes the manga magazine Manga Erotics F and the magazine QuickJapan. Some other recent manga titles include Miyamoto kara Kimi e and Kami no Kodomo.
